托福写作范文赏析：为什么一些学生选择出国留学

Many students choose to attend schools or universities outside their home

countries. Why do some student abroad? Use specific reasons and details to

explain your answer.

　　Although students can get a good education in most subjects at their home

universities, it is important to study abroad for some or part of one’s college

education. Study abroad can give a student competency in a new language,

familiarity with a different culture, and a chance to grow in different

ways.

　　One cannot deny that it is important to be bilingual or even multilingual

in today’s fast-paced world. We have a global economy and communication by

Internet and satellite TV means we must be familiar with other languages in

order to keep up with new developments.

　　Knowing another culture is also important today. Respect for other people

and their traditions will foster cooperation and peace. We should all do our

part to make sure the world is safe for our children. It will only be safe if we

understand and respect other people and their culture.

　　When we are out of our environment, we feel freer to experiment with

different ways of doing things. We are all individuals and we need time to be on

our own, away from our comfortable nests. We may try different things and reject

them. We might also adopt them. People can change and it is easier to change

when you are away from your family surroundings.

　　Study abroad can be enriching. Not only can we learn a new language,

understand more about a different culture, but we can learn more about ourselves

too. At the same time, of course, we are getting an education in the formal

sense.
